CALIFORNIA BOARD OF REGISTERED NURSING. Application FOR Licensure AS A REGISTERED NURSE. General Information and Instructions By Endorsement I. INTRODUCTION. To qualify for Endorsement into California as a registered nurse, you must hold a current and active license in another state or Canada, have completed an educational program meeting all California requirements, and have passed the national Licensure examination or acceptable five-part Canadian examination. The Canadian Comprehensive Examination is not acceptable. If you do not possess these qualifications, you must apply for Licensure by examination. Please contact the Board of Registered Nursing at (916) 322-3350 to request an Application for examination or download the Application from the Board's web site at Note: If you are seeking Licensure in California as a Licensed Vocational Nurse, please contact the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians at (916) 263-7800.

6 You may also visit their web site at PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT ISSUES: Processing times may vary, depending on when the Board receives documents from schools, agencies, and other states or countries. The time to process an Application indicating a prior conviction(s) may take longer than other applications. Delays may also occur with the fingerprint processing by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). If you change your name and/or address after submitting an Application for Licensure , you must notify the Board immediately in order to receive current information. Applicants are required to submit legal documentation of a name change to the Board. Examples of acceptable forms of legal documentation are a birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree, and/or court documents, social security card or passport.

7 A copy of a driver's license is not acceptable. Pending Application files are not public record, therefore an applicant must sign and submit a release of information before the Board will release information to the public (employers, relatives, or other third parties). Once you are licensed, your address of record must be disclosed to the public upon request, under California law. Applicant fees are earned; therefore, fees are non-refundable even if an applicant is found ineligible. 1. (Rev 05/14). II. REPORTING PRIOR CONVICTIONS OR DISCIPLINE AGAINST LICENSES. Applicants are required under law to report all misdemeanor and felony convictions. "Driving under the influence" convictions must be reported. Convictions must be reported even if they have been adjudicated, dismissed or expunged or even if a court ordered diversion program has been completed under the Penal Code or under Article 5 of the Vehicle Code.

8 Also, all disciplinary action against an applicant's registered nurse, practical nurse, vocational nurse or other health care related license or certificate must be reported. Also any fine, infraction, or traffic violation over $1, must be reported. Failure to report prior convictions or disciplinary action is considered falsification of Application and is grounds for denial of Licensure or revocation of license. When reporting prior convictions or disciplinary action, applicants are required to provide a full written explanation of: circumstances surrounding the arrest(s), conviction(s), and/or disciplinary action(s); the date of incident(s), conviction(s) or disciplinary action(s); specific violation(s) (cite section of law if convicted), court location or jurisdiction, sanctions or penalties imposed and completion dates. Provide certified copies of arrest and court documents and for disciplinary proceedings against any license as a RN or any health-care related license; include copies of state board determinations/decisions, citations and letters of reprimand.

9 NOTE: For drug and alcohol convictions include documents that indicate blood alcohol content (BAC). and sobriety date. To make a determination in these cases, the Board considers the nature and severity of the offense, additional subsequent acts, recency of acts or crimes, compliance with court sanctions, and evidence of rehabilitation. The burden of proof lies with the applicant to demonstrate acceptable documented evidence of rehabilitation. Examples of rehabilitation evidence include, but are not be limited to: Recent, dated letter from applicant describing the event and rehabilitative efforts or changes in life to prevent future problems or occurrences. Recent and signed letters of reference on official letterhead from employers, nursing instructors, health professionals, professional counselors, parole or probation officers, Support Group Facilitators or sponsors, or other individuals in positions of authority who are knowledgeable about your rehabilitation efforts.

10 Letters from recognized recovery programs and/or counselors attesting to current sobriety and length of time of sobriety, if there is a history of alcohol or drug abuse. Submit copies of recent work evaluations. Proof of community work, schooling, self-improvement efforts. Court-issued certificate of rehabilitation or evidence of expungement, proof of compliance with criminal probation or parole, and orders of the court. All of the above items should be mailed directly to the Board by the individual(s) or agency who is providing information about the applicant. Have these items sent to the Board of Registered Nursing, Licensing Unit, Box 944210, Sacramento, CA 94244-2100. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide sufficient rehabilitation evidence on a timely basis so that a licensing determination can be made. All evidence of rehabilitation must be submitted prior to being found eligible for Licensure .
